A member asked:
Is it okay to drink a lot of water during your period? or will it make me even more bloated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1. Yes & 2. No: Bloating that occurs prior to or during your period is related to fluid retention & slowed digestion. Drinking more water will help to flush your body and to decrease constipation. Both these actions reduce bloating.
